Adobe Reader 0-day – Update 3 – patched

Update 3: Today, February 20, Adobe released the patch APSB13-07 for Adobe Reader and Acrobat. It addresses 2 CVEs (CVE-2013-0640, CVE-2013-0641) and should be rolled out immediately due to the attacks in the wild. Excellent turn-around time by Adobe.

Update 2:

Adobe announced a patch for Adobe Reader and Acrobat for next week, the week of February 18.

Update: Users of the newest version of Adobe Reader, XI can enable "Protected View" to mitigate the attack by going to Preferences, Security (Enhanced). Protected View opens the file in an additional Sandbox that disables most Adobe Reader XI advanced features, but should be sufficient to read normal PDF documents.
